Forecasts

Shelbourne Flyer (10/3), She's On The Ball (9/2), Verhoyen (5/1), Imnotleavinyou (15/2), Lorr's Girl (8/1), Linger For Longer (10/1), Beau Army (12/1), James Henry (14/1), Half Nutz (16/1), Jazzy Dancer (18/1), Oxford Circus (25/1), Carvalhal (28/1), Racing Royalty (28/1), Bright Image (33/1)

Placed twice in handicaps last summer, SHELBOURNE FLYER starts off for Noel Meade on a workable mark so he's worth a chance as he makes his seasonal return. He gets the vote ahead of Imnotleavinyou, who shaped encouragingly on her first 3 starts of the campaign, with Verhoyen completing the shortlist.
